Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Advising Executors, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Where a person dies leaving a will, solicitors advise executors on gathering the estate, paying debts and legacies, and applying for the grant of probate. They draft and check the estate accounts, liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and the Probate Registry, identify beneficiaries, and handle claims against the estate. They also navigate deadlines, fiduciary duties and, where relevant, disputes, ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with the will and the law.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The grant of probate is a decisive, time‑sensitive step. A solicitor helps the executor meet the legal duties, prepare and submit the necessary papers, address Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, and keep detailed, auditable records to protect the executor from personal liability if a mistake occurs.

Hayley Tenney

Tagged solicitor Hayley Tenney

After a negative experience with another law firm, we came to Hayley. She was a very understanding person and restored our faith in the legal system. Hayley was a very nice person to talk to, made us feel at ease, explained everything in layman's terms and was very efficient.

Anna Tagg-Van Lany

Tagged solicitor Anna Tagg-Van Lany

I cannot speak highly enough of Anna Tagg-Van Lany and the support she provided while dealing with the estate of a dear deceased friend. Throughout what was an emotionally difficult and often complex process, Anna demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and exceptional attention to detail. She took the time to explain every stage of the probate and estate administration process clearly, ensuring that I understood my responsibilities and options. Her communication was always prompt, courteous, and reassuring, which gave me great confidence that the estate was being handled properly. Anna's empathy and patience made a significant difference during a challenging time. She managed the legal aspects efficiently while remaining sensitive to the personal circumstances involved. I always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome and ensuring that my friend's wishes were respected. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna and BRGP Law to anyone requiring assistance with probate, estate administration, or private client matters. Her professionalism, kindness, and expertise were invaluable, and I am extremely grateful for her help.

Tagged solicitors Ralph McCran and Steven Fell

Recently used the services of both Ralph and Steven at Malcolm Jack and Matheson, having used the firm for wills, powers of attorney and settlement of estates previously. I would highly recommend them for their professional yet friendly service. They are diligent and knowledgable, keeping you informed all the way. Also found it so easy to make direct contact any time it was required.
